We performed a comparison between Microsoft BitLocker, OpenText Connected MX, and Sophos SafeGuard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Mobile Data Protection."It holds significant value as it reduces the need for extensive IT management to handle security across networks and environments"
"The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"It is an encryption tool and provides security."
"You can do a silent remote deployment very fast."
"I liked the way it works with our Microsoft tools. As we roll out Intune, we can validate if the device has been encrypted, and if not, we can push it down. It is pretty simple to deploy."
"The product is stable."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"The integration features are the most valuable. The integration is specific to each solution. It works well with SQL and Oracle databases and so on."
"The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"I like the support most of all."
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"The Intercept X feature is the most valuable feature. You can't find this feature in other firewalls because Intercept X works as if it has an interaction between the endpoint and the firewall."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"It's the best solution on the market."
"The pricing should be improved."
"The customizations could be more flexible."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"The biggest one for us is revoking access. So, even though someone downloads something to a device, we want the ability to cloak that device or data and bring it back or make that data unusable for that person. Currently, BitLocker doesn't give us that ability. It basically encrypts it. We're seeing if identity management or IAM allows us to do that. We're kind of looking at third-party software that does that for us."
"More customization options would have been nice, such as password selection, actions when the screen is locked, etc."
"The implementation of BitLocker is not simple. There are many prerequisites and hours of study and testing."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"On the exchange server, you do not have the best options for adjusting your mailbox. This feature is not included. Also, disaster recovery backups can be improved. Some other solutions, such as HP Data Protector, have more features."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The Office 360 integration could be improved."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"Sophos should conduct some seminars to teach people how to use it and also to inform the users about what they should do in case of problems."
"What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable."
"The integration could be a little better."
"Once you lock a server, you won't be able to install or put something on that particular server, but on the PC or machines, the lockdown feature is not there, and it is a query our company raised when we had to provide details for Sophos' review."
